What Do You Do When No One Is Looking?
In our interpreting world, it is only in the last decade or so that the ethical decisions we make moment by moment are considered situational rather than a strident adherence to the Code of Professional Conduct (CPC). The interview section of the NIC performance exam attempts to understand our rationale for the choices we make, thus recognizing that circumstances influence our ethical choices. This workshop will explore our personal ethics and how they impact our compliance to our professional ethical code.
Presenter will guide participants through a worksheet creating their own personal ethics. Presenter will then explore the tenets of the CPC in conjunction with interpreting scenarios in which participants may find themselves. Once revealed, participants can practice how to blend these ethical views in an effective and professional expression in their work.
